I'm here with Radel Ortiz

Radel, say hello to Un Ching.

What's up?

Congratulations on your show.

Thank you.

Talk to me. How was that?

It was incredible, bro.

I'm still high off of it right now.

I'm smacked right now

thinking about that, bro.

It's still incredible, bro.

A night to remember.

Ruben introduced you.

How did that feel?

Rubén Blades

You know what he called me?

He called me, um, Cabeza de huevo

Yeah, Cabezón

That's what he calls me.

Rubén Blades, just came out

to support and see the show.

And while he was there,

we was like, "hey Rubén

what do you think about you

coming out to introduce me?"

He's like, "Well, I

don't know what to say."

So he goes out there.

He's like, "hey, they told

me to introduce this guy.

I don't even know who

the fuck he is, but..."

Wow.

Yeah, and I was just back there, like,

pinching myself, like,

"Is this real life, bro?"

It's real life.

Do we have the one and only Rubén Blades

introducing me, bro?

Crazy.

I tell you that, uh, in this

second round of Un Chín

there's very few

celebrities that I've interviewed

that my own family said, "Oh, my God,

I can't believe that

you're doing Radel."

And my kids were very

excited that I'm doing you.

So, congratulations.

You're doing me.

Hey, you

Nah, your kids got good taste.

I know.

Your kids got good taste.

Talk to me.

Family.

I mean, right now, in the

set, your whole family's here.

Talk to me about what

does family mean to you.

It's one team, one dream.

That's how it is.

My family is everything to me.

They're the reason I do

what I do, bro, for real.

They're my biggest support system.

They're my biggest reason why.

They were my first

supporters when I started up.

So, to me, family means everything, bro.

Like, without them, I'm nothing.

So, when anybody congratulates me

and they say I'm so great, you're also

talking about my mom,

my sisters, my girlfriend, my cousins.

You're talking about my grandma.

You know what I mean?

Yep.

Any congratulations I get or

any people admiring and stuff,

it goes right back to them because I'm

not me without them.

You know what I mean?

They literally helped create what it is.

Inspiration, too, right?

Because most of your

material comes from family, right?

Oh, yeah.

100%.

I mean, there'll be stuff

that happens in real life

and it'll be like,

bro, that's so hilarious.

Let's record that.

And we'll just record

what really just happened

and improvise and make

it funnier and stuff,

and that'll be a viral video.

One of the first videos

I made with my mom ever,

it came from that

with my sister, Lizbel

She was watching us.

I was sick and I was

like, "Mom, help me out."

And she was just watching my mom bring me

all kinds of bullshit

from the fridge, honey bee, right?

Honey with garlic and all

of this stuff and all the--

syrup, vaporub

And shoving it up my nose.

And Liz was just watching it.

She was like,

"You, yeah, I should record that.

That's hilarious."

And we recorded it.

That's our first

video ever of me and mom.

Comedy is therapy for

you a little bit, right?

Yeah, for sure.

Talk to me.

How does it help you?

I mean, everybody goes

through tough times, bro.

Stressed out, a little

confused, lost about life.

And that's how I really

was, bro, back in 2016 and 17.

So I just wanted to try

something that could--

that I knew that was

inside me, bro, was that comedy.

I was always the class clown.

I was always messing around back when

they had the boost mobile

phones and the sidekicks.

I used to be recording

stupid videos even then.

Five-second, blurry, terrible videos.

But I just loved doing it.

So when I got a little bit

older, I was already like 26.

And I kind of had already

wasted some of my early years.

And I was a little lost.

I said, why not go

back to that true passion

that I have, which was that?

Comedy.

Yeah.

And then I seen people

online having success doing it.

My friend, Chicklet, he's one of them.

chicklet and Maleni,

they're superstars, right?

But he's from East New York also.

He's from my hood.

I knew this kid since

he was like 12 years old.

So seeing him do it, I'm like, wow,

I could probably do this too.

So definitely, I got a lot

of inspiration from people.

But then I just started doing it.

And it just was healing,

making videos with my family

or whatever.

It just feels good.

Even to this day, if I go

too long before making a video,

I start to feel like, damn, I'm washed.

I start to feel like I'm--

it's so important to

have a purposeful life,

because it's real easy

to get lost in just life.

The daily mundane routines

of just not doing nothing.

So even now, if I want to

feel better, I go create.

It's literally that to me, bro.

And having a creative family too, right?

You guys are all creatives.

Do they inspire you

too as far as content?

Of course.

Of course.

I mean, my older sister,

she works in a nursing office.

not a nursing office--

a foot doctor.

What's that?

A pediatric-- that's what I mean.

And she's not creative in

the sense of creating content.

But she's creative in cursing you out.

She'll curse you out.

You'll be like, what?

I didn't know you could say that.

And then Elizabeth, by your success,

she records all of our videos, right?

Yep.

And she's super creative.

People don't give her enough--

I feel like they do give

her a lot of love and support,

but it should be more.

Because she's the one--

I'll be like, Elizabeth,

what did you think?

And she'll be like, no,

let's do it one more time.

I'm like, all right, fuck it.

Let's do it one more time.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean, you can see the

team that is putting together

this episode.

So yes, it takes a

team behind the scenes.

Anyone that you study in the comedy,

any comedian that you admire that work?

Oh, man.

Growing up, my favorite was

George Carlin and Dave Chappelle

Standup-wise.

Obviously,

the Katt Williams came and killed.

Kevin Hart came, right?

Yeah, that was me growing up.

Those was my big inspirations for real.

Martin-- I didn't watch

too much Martin stand up

for some reason, but

just the Martin show itself

is critical.

I really feel like during high school,

I was just

Martin Lawrence the whole time.

I would just act like

him all at the time.

And he's just one of the

greatest to ever do it for real.

Going back to the art, I

saw one of your episodes

that you will see in

Letrine in D.R

So materials like that,

going back to the art,

does it inspire your content, though?

Oh, man.

You have no idea, bro.

when we go to D.R we're like, you

we have to stay here longer.

Because it's like every 20 seconds,

there's something new

that's hilarious that is just

nonstop.

Whenever I'm out there, I just want to

record nonstop videos.

It's just too funny.

It's just too funny.

So what's in the future?

Anything that you could talk about?

In the future, we've

got to keep it going.

That's right.

You know?

And I wish I was somebody

who said, yes, next year,

I'm going to do this, this, and that.

I'm not really like that.

But last year, I will say, I

rolled down a bunch of goals,

right?

And one of them was to lose

60 pounds, get a six pack--

a six pack here, bro.

Get shredded, right?

And then to sell out the United Palace.

I had that written

down on a piece of paper.

So the first two--

nah, right?

It didn't happen.

But we sold out the United Palace.

Yes.

So I feel like that's one

thing I'm going to start doing more

now, is just really

start writing down goals.

And mind you, when I wrote

that down to sell out the United Palace,

I was kind of like, all right,

let me just write it down so God can see

that it's what I want.

But I didn't really

believe that that could happen.

You hear what I mean?

I didn't really believe.

It was kind of like that, you know,

If I had faith like a mustard seed

You know what that is?

Oh, you a godless man.

You are not from the church?

It's so good, bro.

Anyway, I didn't really believe it,

but I had a little mustard seed of faith

that it could happen.

And then that shit happened, bro.

So guess what I'm going to

write now on my new goals?

Get a six pack, get

shredded, and some other shit.

Yeah go see.

Stay tuned.

gracias por darme Un Chín de tu tiempo

Un Chín , Un Chín

what does a chin mean to you

when you think about it

When I think of Un Chín for real,

it's like, that much

Un Chín of that plate, right?

That's like, oh,

somebody eating a sandwich.

Let me get a bite.

Oh, yeah.

Exactly.

That's what it is to me.
